Ability to hold Public Office ever again based on a reading of the insurrection cause of the 14th Amendment. It appears likely that trump will probably be allowed to remain on the ballot but we just dont know exactly how the justices will rule or what kind of implications that may have on both the primary and on trumps legal cases.
